Naftoli Lifschitz , BACP

Naftoli Lifschitz is a licensed psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of clinical experience. He combines formal training - including a counselling diploma and an MA awarded with first-class honours - with long-standing practice supporting people through depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and other life challenges. He is accredited by the BACP, a professional counselling association, and has worked with a wide range of clients across clinical and corporate settings, helping more than a thousand people navigate change and recovery.

Naftoli’s work is grounded in evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR, which he adapts to each client’s needs. He places high value on clear communication and cultural understanding, aiming to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. He prioritizes acceptance and aims to help clients build motivation, confidence, and more effective coping strategies.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting; Naftoli frames the process as a collaborative journey and supports people through practical and emotional challenges as they work toward their goals and personal growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Naftoli works with well-established clinical approaches tailored to the needs of each client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and difficulties with motivation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach that helps people process distressing memories and the emotions attached to them, and can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Naftoli evaluates each person's goals, preferences and history and discusses options so that clients and the therapist can agree on the most suitable method as therapy progresses. This partnership helps shape sessions and allows adjustments over time.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs, and support consistent engagement even when in-person meetings are not possible.
